Feeling a bit drained again from molding his chakra, Kuri trned back to the book to learn his hand seals. The next seal on his list was Uma : the Horse. Lightning speed and thundering hooves, Horses were the metaphorical embodiment of Raiton. Kuri studied the seal intently for a while before trying the seal out. He noticed that Uma was similar to an opened up dragon seal, so he started at the root: Ryu. Once he had the Dragon formed, he opened his hands a bit and curled his pinkies inward like the rest of his fingers. Finally, his index fingers pointed upwards and towards each other and his thumbs curled down slightly, successfully forming the Horse seal.

Kuri was on such a roll and in such a good mood now that he decided he could finally tackle those two seals that he had been having issues with all day. He studied the Rabbit again for a moment before trying it, only to find that he still wasn't sure about it. He couldn't understand what was so damned difficult about these two hand seals, but he would have to work on them a little more.
Roll: 5
He decided he might as well try the Ox again since he couldn't get the Rabbit. After taking another look at the seal, he was convinced that he knew how the fingering worked, but when he tried it this time, all of his fingers cramped up at once. He shook his hands, trying to work out all of the kinks.
Roll: 2

Mizurio got bored of this new teacher already. He was not telling him his name, and so he wouldn't say his. he looked at the guy who introduced himself and walked right up to him and whispered to him.
"I am Mizuiro Hoshigaki. I am the way I am."

Next on Kuri's list was Hitsuji: the Ram. He read the blurb about its known associated elements before studying the positioning of the fingers. The left hand looked just as if it were trying to form the tiger seal, but the fingering on the right hand had two different pictures. Not knowing which one would work best for him, he decided to try both. The first involved giving a sort of thumbs up with his right hand, and then the two smallest fingers on his right hand rested on top of two of his right knuckled. Somethine didn't quite feel right about this way, so he decided to try the second one.
Roll: 7
Before Kuri had the chance to try the other method, Mizuiro came up to talk to him. He listened to the boy giving his name and nodded, giving a little appreciative smile. It seemed hat Mizuiro wasn't as rude as Kuri thought. But, he was much more stubborn and foolish. "Pleasure to meet you, Mizuiro-san" he said loudly enough that there was no doubt that Andou would hear him. "Over there is Andou-sensei. Now that we all know each other, there's nothing left in our way."
After Kuri was satisfied that both parties were now effectively introduced, he tried the second position for HItsuji. With his right hand, instead of a thumbs up, he formed a J, though the rest of the positioning was very similar. This way felt much more natural, and transitioned better from other seals, so Kuri decided that he would do it that way from then on.
Roll: 14

Special: -1 Cp per post.
CP: 2/3
Kuri decided to choose a random seal to try molding his chakra with, and after a bit of consideration, chose Uma: the Horse. He thought about what he read about the seal and how it's ties were strong with Raiton. Remembering how both Inu and Tori affected him, Kuri was strongly starting to believe that he himself had ties to Raiton.
He took a deep breath, bracing himself for the feeling he had gotten with those other two seals before forming the Horse. His whole body shuddered as a rush of adrenaline coursed through his veins. He felt a power brewing in himself that he never had before, besides the short while he had used Tori and Inu. He still hadn't gotten used to the feeling, but he damn well liked it.

Feeling more alive than ever, Kuri flipped to Usagi one last time. Instantly, he figured out what he had been doing wrong the whole time. By looking at the whole thing at once, the picture was a jumble of fingers going in strange directions. When he finally decided to look at each hand separately and then fit them together like a puzzle, the seal made worlds more sense. With his right hand, he formed a fist before extending his pinky. With his left hand, he formed an L with his index finger and thumb. He fit the corner of the l into the crook formed by his pinky and his otherwise balled up fist, finally forming the correct rabbit seal.
Roll: 13
Not wanting to get too cocky, Kuri tried the one seal he hadn't made an attempt at yet, Nezumi: the Rat. The seal looked difficult since there were a lot of possible fingers hidden in the photo. With his right hand, he lightly curled his fingers in to form what was essentially half of a snake seal. With his left, he covered his right knuckles, forming a hook with his index finger. Something didn't feel right about it though. As far as he cold tell, the two looked the same, but he had a bad feeling that he wasn't quite there.
Roll: 2
Excited to finally nail that pesky Usagi seal, he made another attempt at the Ox. This one was easier to look at as one whole entity. He formed the snake seal, before extending the his index finger and pinky of his right hand and all of the fingers on his left. Finally, he separated his palms so that his left hand was horizontal and his right hand vertical. Finally, the worst was over. He had almost learned all twelve hand seals over the course of a few hours. He worked the two new ones he had learned into his rotation with a strong sense of satisfaction.
Roll: 12

Without moving from his spot, Kuri set down the book and formed the Ox seal again. Partially because he was happy he finally got it, but also because he wondered how it would affect his chakra molding. He closed his eyes as he churned his energies into one another, but for some reason, he just wasn't feeling right. He didn't feel he tingling or the euphoria. No, he felt heavy like he did when he tried Hebi. Not wanting to lose his good thoughts, he stopped immediately, shaking his head to remove the cloud from his thoughts.

Kuri squinted as he looked a bit closer at the image of Nezumi in his textbook. What he saw was a clue to the real configuration of the seal. He didn't see any lines that suggested a bend in the right hand's fingers. "That's it . . ." he muttered as the realization really hit him. Instead of forming half of a snake with his fight hand, the answer was to use half of a tiger seal. He did just that, extending his index and middle fingers of his right hand. He wrapped the fingers of his left hand around those two, with the index finger resting on his right fingertips. It definitely looked right, and it definitely felt right. With that, there was only one conclusion. He had learned all 12 of the shinobi hand seals. He wanted to try one more seal with his chakra molding exercises, then he would report to Andou-sensei.

Kuriarare was so close to the end of his first lesson, he could almost taste sweet victory. He intended to finish hie training with the Rat seal, and so he formed it. Closing his eyes, Kuri took a deep breath as he tried to mold his energies into chakra. He felt the familiar tingling in his fingertips for a moment, but after little more than a few seconds, he felt that something was wrong. He started to feel numb again like he had the first time he failed. He broke the seal instantly and shivered for some reason.
He decided, once his hands gained feeling again, that since he was done with the seals, he would close the textbook.

Back to the basics . . . Kuri thought as he formed the tiger seal and imagined his energies flowing together. That's all that happened though, he imagined it, but it never actually happened. He was completely flabbergasted that what used to prove as the simplest task before, now proved a challenge. He shook his head and backed into the wall, sliding down into a seated position. He needed a moment to clear his head. He closed his eyes and put his hands on his knees, breathing in deeply.

Rai slowly stepped through the doors despite the confident attitude he had just before. Thankfully he pulled himself together and didn't hide anywhere. Though he was still nervous. "Hello..." He said softly barely out of the door way and then took a deep breath and said in a louder voice. "Hello?" He was almost afraid that someone would answer so he took a few steps forward and closed the doors behind him before he could run out of them. His nerves usually got the better of him but he would not let them rule him this time. He grumbled under his breath about how rude that last person was but as he thought about it the more it made sense. In order to be a ninja you can't be all shy and scared. 'Worrying about things is a way to get you killed probably. . . Plus the elderly couple said, "That it gives you wrinkles to worry so much."' He almost laughed thinking about all the wrinkles and he would have on his face one day if he lived that long. The grim counter thought shook him a little but didn't dampen his spirits.

((Haha, I'm getting myself so used to rolling that now I do it when I don't mean to . . .))
Kuri sat alone in his own little world as he reveled in the sound of his own breathing. He was so focused in fact, that he didn't notice that the door had opened and produced another student. He inhaled deeply as his entire being was overcome by a sense of calm. Just before he exhaled, he heard a voice rise above the silence and echo through his mind. His right eye opened as he let his breath escape into the world around him.
"Hey there." Kuri said without a hint of inflection. Normally he'd be all sunshine and rainbows with the other boy, but until he knew he was nicer than the others he had dealt with thus far, he would remain indifferent. He closed his eye again as he refocused on his breathing, removing from his mind all the negative thoughts of the day.

Raikane almost jumped when he heard a reply and saw another student. He walked over slowly and quietly. Then he spoke up and smiled knowing deliberately what he just disturbed and wanted to laugh again. "What are you doing?" He held back the laughter as a little bit of guilt started to flood into his core. He felt bad actually but it had already been done and there was no point in trying to take back what has been. He tried to do the Bunshin no Jutsu in front of the other student. Thankfully he barely made it and made a clone of himself standing there. Both the clone and the original sat down and watched the other boy, waiting to be yelled at for disrupting him during his training. Quote: Bunshin no Jutsu (Clone Technique) Cp cost: 1 pt. per clone.

Without opening his eyes, Kuri stood, taking a deep breath as he did. He stretched his arms out wide before his eyes opened suddenly. With a smirk, Kuri brought his hands together into the Bird seal, transitioned to Horse, and finally switched to Rabbit. Without even visualizing the mixture of his energies into one, he felt a welling energy in his core. In a brief instant, he felt as if pure lightning were shooting through his veins, an exhilarating experience that he had never felt before. It was better than with any of those seals on their own. he felt as if he could run a marathon, lift a house, or even touch the sky.
"I was . . . just finishing up some training . . ." Kuri replied after a moment of savoring the feeling of success. He looked down at Raikane with a cheshire grin. He held the rabbit seal the entire time, feeling his chakra rush from one place to another. With a bit of effort, he drew a large concentration of his chakra into each limb one at a time, before drawing it all into his core, his heart pounding with excitement.

Rai watched him curiously and waved through the clone, making it disappear. He was able to see the blue Chakra around Kuri. He focused on his own training too. He smiled and made the hand seals. Ram flowed down to Snake which then shifted to Tiger. He tried his best not to make a mistake and was very happy when a clone shifted from him and was seated as well. "Hi. My name is Raikane. Though you can just call me Rai if you want." His smile widened as he held out his hand. He hope that this person was nicer then the last he met here then he reminded himself once again it was just a show. He gladly pushed that to the back of his memory as his other hand slide the the clone. The shimmering after image was all that remained of the clone.
